Summary
Innovative Information Technology Leader with 30 years of experience including oversight of infrastructure, professional development, deployments, application support and security services. I'm dedicated to positive customer outcomes with focused delivery of technical solutions. Worked in every roll that makes a successful IT department and provided leadership for organizational change and technology decisions. I often refer to myself as a translator who can communicate complex technical ideas to a nontechnical audience and help highly skilled engineers to understand the needs of other departments.
